taking a dunk

Hi Neil

 

Nice reentry. Were the waders flooded?

 

As well as dispelling the wader myth, the clip also demonstrates how to rentry on a Scupper Pro.

 

 

The waders were as full as they could have been. He had been in the water for 15 mins before I took that clip.

You can see the water running down the legs as he is doing the river dance, upside down... :lol:

 

Neil.

Thats a great conclusion to this thread. The Scupper Pro is not the easiest kayak to renter and with flooded waders I would have thought that would have been very difficult - turns out this was not the case.

Excellent test....did your brother have a wading belt on ?

As a fly fisher for many years, the one thing you must wear when in waders is a wading belt, it can slow the amount of water that enters them when you go under ....seen quite a few people stumble while wading, and a couple that have gone under while wading deep. The wearing of a wading belt stops the sudden rush of water into them, you still get wet though.

On some of the US sites they recomend waders for Kayaking , both neo and breathable, if used with two belts and a good dry top.
